#thankscards

I decided I needed to make some thankful cards, since Thanksgiving is almost here. I thought of having pumpkins with some stalks of wheat behind them.

When I saw Gathered Wheat, I knew I had to get it. My husband is from Kansas and he grew up on a wheat farm. His dad was a farmer, and my husband did a lot of farming too.

I colored the pumpkins using Pumpkin Pie ink on watercolor paper. You stamp, then use a Water Painter to spread the ink. I have a video showing that:

I did the same things with the wheat; I used Crumb Cake.

The background was made with Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow with the Blending Brushes.

The sentiment is from the Gathered Wheat stamp set. I cut it with the Stylish Shapes dies.

Here’s everything I used:

Ok, I have now made many cards with the Apple Harvest, and I have done red, green and yellow apples. That was one of my goals!

If you saw my post with the yellow apples, you saw that I had a frame, made with the Fabulous Frames dies, that was the beautiful Glimmer paper (in the mini). For this card, I used the negative piece from that die cut to put behind my apples, leaves and flowers. Here’s that post:

Apples for a Friend

For the apples, I used Granny Blends and then added a little bit of Crumb Cake on the cut apple. I then used the Color Lifter Blend to soften it.

For the leaves, I used So Saffron.

For the flowers, I first used the Light Blend (L900) and then used the light Petal Pink.

The sentiment is part of the Apple Harvest stamp set. I stamped with Granny ink and then die cut it with the Stylish Shapes dies.

All the dies on the card, except the square, are from the Apple Harvest dies. There are so many in that set! I’ll be sad when it’s gone!
